Hi, I'm wondering which pharmacy discount programs currently cover asthma inhalers?
I'm a life long asthmatic who has managed my symptoms with occasional emergency use. I go weeks, sometimes months without it, but when the attacks hit, it's practically life saving.
Typically, I've used Ventolin, as a preference over generic Albuterol, but I currently don't have a primary care doctor, and my insurance plan isn't covering these meRAB (huge deductible). I've been using an oRABhore pharmacy that will sell without a prescription, and while their Ventolin looked, and acted like the real thing, and have the Glaxo serial nuraber, I still worry about using these long term. It was hard to beat their price of 3 inhalers for around $40...
I now have a Proventil prescription after a Doctor visit over some mishap I was trying to make the best out of, and I am happy to go legit again....
...but I simply can't afford to fill the prescription. Worse, none of the pharmacies will give you a price until they call it in and start to process it.
Knowing there are pharmacies with special programs offering generics at $4 a pop, and all that, I'm figuring all of you have likely been through this and can guide me. I filled out the Rite Aid form for their subsidized program, which includes Albuterol, asked if they could give me the generic instead, and was shocked when they still tried to charge me $45 for a single inhaler. I had to walk away.
Anyone have some tips here? Thanks for reading through my predicament.
